Dear Robert,
Could you please expound upon this statement? Good educators are important
at every level, and in every type of school. I believe a poor primary
education can inhibit success for the rest of a child's educational career,
so it is very important to have good teachers at that level. Once a student
loves to learn, a bad teacher can't ruin that, the student will learn on
his or her own.

p.s. I have noticed, and you can see it on this list, that middle school
teachers are often the most enthusiastic teachers, with great senses of
humor. I don't think it's a coincidence that these fun, energetic teachers
flock to that "special" middle population!
